The glx port should be in /usr/ports/graphics, I believe it's name changed to utah-glx. The acutual devellopement is hosted at http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/ GLX is how you encapsulate GL commends in the X protocol stream. There is an xserver part and an X client part. Glut and Glu are extra libs that try to abstract most windowing system specifics (open a window, close a window, take over the screen). Mesa typically installs an implementation of both libs. ICE is normally distributed with XFree86. The nvidia chipsets aren't supported well with the utah-glx stuff. Check the sourceforge site mentioned above... Be aware that there is a known working voodoo3 DRI implementation (associated with XFree86 4.0.x) ported to freebsd available as developement sources from dri.sourceforge.net. I mention this simply because the V3 boards are very affordable now (around $100 us retail), are available in pci and agp flavors.
